Q: What to do if wife not coming back to husbands house ?

I got married in 2015 after 1 year my wife went to his father house and never returns it's 14 months now. I visited her home many times to take her back home but she refused . Not she don't even answers my call and messages. What is the procedure to send legal notice to wife to come back home?, what to do if wife not coming home?, I am a Sikh

Advocate Suparna Sinha answered
If you want her to come back then kindly file a petition under section 9, Hindu marriage act (HMA) for restitution of conjugal rights. Sikhs are also covered under the Hindu marriage act. Therefore, you have your right under HMA. Therefore, when the court will order her to come back then she will have to.

Q: How many years of separation can aid in an easy divorce

My brother is living saperate with my sister in law from past 1.5 yrs he want divorce..I have a question that how many years we required to stay saprate to get easy divorce Thanks

Advocate Suparna Sinha answered
If your brother and sister in law want to go for mutual divorce then the period of separation should be 1 year. Since now they have been separated for more than an year they can file for mutual divorce. If they are not ready to settle for mutual divorce then after a period of 2 years of separation your brother can file for divorce on the ground of cruelty and desertion.

Q: Husband file divorce on desertion & cruelty as wife filed for divorce

Wife secured exparte divorce on mental cruelty within 3 months in Punjab although she is living and working in Mumbai, her brother is in PunjabCan husband file counter divorce in Delhi on new grounds such as desertion and cruelty?

Advocate Suparna Sinha answered
When already divorce has been granted by the court even though exparte then how can a counter divorce be filed(common sense). Your marriage has been dissolved therefore, now no more divorce proceedings can be filed before any Court of law in India or any foreign country.

Q: Want to take legal action against cousin sexually assaulted 17 yrs ago

Dear Sir, My name is , I was 7-8 years old when i was sexually abused by my cousin brother who is around 10 years elder to me. This happened when i visited to his house in 2001, it was New years time. It's been a long time but i couldn't forget the time when he did all this with me, i still feel the pain and suffering. I didn't understand this at that time and didn't tell anyone about it. But it still haunts me and i feel disgusting. I never stayed at his house again after this. But now he is staying in my house with his kids and wife from last one year as a tenant and my all those dark memories got refreshed. I couldn't tell anyone at that time but now I want to overcome this and report it. Please advice me how can i report all that after 17 years. Thanks 

Advocate Suparna Sinha answered
Well it is difficult to report the same at this point of time. Though I understand your pain but legally it will be difficult to prove anything. Therefore, you will have to file a complaint with a new recent incident (even if it is false) and thereafter narrate the incident that happened when you were a child.
